Deuce, as an owner of a 50's leadsled, I can appreciated your feelings regarding the clunkers. Like many others, I have a streetrod and a 50's car, mine happens to be a mild custom versus a bone stock car like so many tri-fives are. But I don't like to look at the plain jane clunkers either and thusly will avoid those areas.

I prefer the NSRA events over the Goodguys but not because of the year restrictions. It's because of other things which might seem unimportant to many. Been to Lou'ville and it was fun despite the horrible heat (106 for 4 days straight) and the car breaking down on the trip down and having to be trailered to Tampa for repairs (no parts in Lou'ville).

Lou'ville will always be pre-49, but many of the other NSRA events may eventually go to pre-77 or beyond, four already, possibly more in the future. Money matters.
